Send out a note to your quilter’s group and Relief Society. I’m sure a dozen women have an extra machine lying around that they NEVER use. I do, and if I lived near you, you could have it on indefinite loan. These things collect dust for most of us . . . !

Ditto to what Deborah said. How about putting a note on the bulitin board at church? I know that the other ward that meets in that building has TONS of ladies with sewing machines they’d be willing to lend. I can think of 5 off the top of my head right now.

Tracy, I say you put a button on your blog and let your friends help you out. I have been reading for a long time and can so feel for your situation. So many people love and care for you. Let them help-

I hope you can find a temp machine! You might be able to barter with your local sewing machine dealer for a repair after the holidays. If I was at home I would be happy to loan you mine, but alas its been sitting by its little self at home without me for the last 6 months. 😦

What’s a Chip In badge? That sounds dangerously close to asking people for money….

The good news: At quilt group tonight, I got some suggestions of people who can repair it. One shop even gives you a loaner while they have yours. I also dug out my old klunker, and while it’s light is broken, and a lot of the buttons don’t work, I think I can get it to sew a straight line… so, all hope is not lost.

What is great is knowing how many of you care about me, and how many of you have de-lurked to say so. Thank you!
